Apple Pie Filling
In this easy apple pie filling recipe, I cook sweet-tart apples with warm spices until they're tender and juicy. It makes enough for one 9.5- or 9-inch pie. If you're using a 9-inch pie pan, you might have a little filling left over. Use it as a topping for ice cream or pancakes, or try another of the serving suggestions in the post above.

In a large pot, whisk together the brown sugar, cane sugar, apple pie spice, and salt. Add the apple slices and lemon juice and toss until the apples are evenly coated in the sugar and spices. Set aside for ⏱️ 30 minutes to draw some of the juices out of the apples.
